The Romance of a Young Painter

In the dream, I saw that Meng Meng was in a courtyard house of Shen’s house in City B. The spring was chilly, and a magnolia tree outside the courtyard was in full bloom. Meng Meng climbed up the tree with thin arms and legs, swiftly like a monkey. When she came down, The girl had a flower in her mouth, her eyebrows were flying.

Seeing such a girl for the first time, Zhou Nianjiu couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Meng Meng took off the flower branch in her mouth, and knocked him on the head with a smile: "Where did you come from?"

Zhou Nianjiu let out an "ah" and didn't know where to put his hands.

Meng Meng laughed even more happily, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Nianjiu's tongue was a little knotted: "Well, Shen Guangji, does Mr. Shen live here?"

Meng Meng sized him up and said, "He's here today, come in."

Shen Guangji was doing Tai Chi in the atrium, wearing an ultramarine gown that fluttered with his movements, looking like an expert hiding in the city.He is one round older than Zhou Nianjiu, became famous as a teenager, won international trophies, and is currently a visiting professor at CAFA.

Zhou Nianjiu and him are both teachers and friends, and they hit it off very well.

Meng Meng put the flowers on the stone table in the yard casually, and without greeting the guests, she vacated several vases on her own, and gestured to them one by one with the flower branches.

"Come on, sit inside." Shen Guangji closed his fists and led the person into the room.

The two made tea and talked for a while about drawing, when Shen Guangji suddenly changed the subject: "Are you 22, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhou Nianjiu shook his head honestly.

"Where's your boyfriend?"

Zhou Nianjiu was taken aback and quickly denied it.

Shen Guangji smiled and said, "Do you want me to introduce one to you?"

Zhou Nianjiu declined politely: "Stop joking."

Shen Guangji cut to the chase: "That was my niece Meng Meng just now, she is about the same age as you, and she is not bad, but she is used to it since she was a child, are you interested in taking care of our family?"

Zhou Nianjiu blushed.

"Shen Guangji, what are you talking about?" Meng Meng's voice came from the yard, "What care are you about my affairs, besides, it's not that this girl can't get married, she needs to rush to sell it to this silly boy ?"

Shen Guangji pretended to be serious and said: "It's becoming more and more unruly. I said I should call you uncle, and also, I have to be polite to the guests."

Meng Meng made a grimace at the door: "I see, uncle."

Zhou Nianjiu couldn't help laughing.

Meng Meng walked up to Zhou Nianjiu: "Let me introduce formally. My name is Meng Meng, the Meng of Confucius, Meng and Yan Zeng, and the dream of Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie. How about you?"

Zhou Nianjiu quickly stood up: "My name is Zhou Nianjiu, the Zhou of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly, I read the words of a gentleman, and I reciprocate the words of Qiong Jiu. Miss Meng, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing his serious look, Meng Meng couldn't hold back anymore, and said to Shen Guangji with a smile: "Uncle, where did you find such an idiot?"

Shen Guangji looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Nianjiu was a little embarrassed, he was not very good at dealing with people, especially girls.

But Meng Meng graciously pulled him into the yard: "Zhou Nianjiu, you are also an artist, right? Come and help me choose which vase looks good with Magnolia."

Zhou Nianjiu took a rough look and pointed to a pastel lantern bottle: "Try this."

Meng Meng put the flowers into the vase, and smiled at him: "I also think this one is the best, Zhou Nianjiu, you are very discerning."

Zhou Nianjiu likes her smile very much, it is clean and bright, as if all the worries in this world have nothing to do with her.

Since then, Zhou Nianjiu has become a frequent visitor to the courtyard. Many times, he and Shen Guangji set up an easel to sketch in the courtyard, and Meng Meng played with his own and acted as a model by the way; Having a pot of tea and chatting all over the world, Meng Meng, who is usually noisy, will quietly listen to them talking, and gradually the three of them have formed a tacit iron triangle.For a while, Shen Guangji didn't come, and there were only Zhou Nianjiu and Meng Meng in the yard. The Iron Triangle was missing a corner, and they didn't feel uncomfortable. They were still drawing and chatting in the yard, and their days were as pleasant as poetry.

Zhou Nianjiu later found out that this yard belonged to Meng Meng's mother, and Shen Guangji just came to take care of his niece.Occasionally, Zhou Nianjiu would meet Meng Meng's mother. This woman is a shrewd and capable woman. She is the sole leader of the Shen family's huge family business. However, she is very busy and always comes and goes in a hurry. She doesn't even have time to have a meal with Meng Meng. .

Meng Meng didn't care at all, because she had someone closer than her busy mother——Zhou Nianjiu became her boyfriend as a matter of course.

With Meng Meng, a girl who loves to laugh, as his girlfriend, the 22-year-old Zhou Nianjiu in his dream is sweet every day.

But now, Zhou Nianjiu, who is less than 17 years old, is lying on the hospital bed of the school hospital. The school doctor has just applied medicine to his wound and told him various follow-up precautions.

Zhou Nianjiu, the client, was distracted. He remembered that Meng Meng in the dream had told him that she had an older brother named Meng Xing. After her parents divorced, she and her mother returned to city B where her grandparents lived. City S.That boy was named Meng Xing just now, is this a coincidence?Or does the person in the dream actually exist in reality?Could the Meng Xing she was talking about be the Meng Xing he met?

Zhou Nianjiu decided to go to Meng Xing for verification, but before he could implement it, he was taken away by Wenmingyuan who heard the news.

Seeing the whole body of the child he had been nursing since he was a child, Wen Wenyuan was so distressed that he went to the hospital to give Zhou Nianjiu a full body examination, and saw that the medical certificate said that it was all skin trauma and would not leave any sequelae. Feeling relieved, after confirming that he didn't need to be hospitalized, he prescribed the medicine and took him home.

Zhou Nianjiu went home and lived directly during the school holidays. Even the report card was brought back by Wenmingyuan. In the middle, he went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of reference books recommended by Wen Juan. In front of him, Meng Meng Meng Xing was quickly forgotten by him.

Jin Bao went to see him once at home, and seeing him brushing up questions there in good condition, he walked away speechlessly.Yu Pianran and Lu Kai also came here, it is said that they came to condolences and apologize, but Wen Wenyuan stopped the door on the grounds that Zhou Nianjiu wanted to rest.

Turning around, Wen Wenyuan said to Zhou Nianjiu: "Father doesn't object to your dating, but you must keep your eyes open. The little girl who flirts with you just now is definitely not good. If you want to find someone like your mother."

Zhou Nianjiu thought of going elsewhere. Meng Meng seemed to be a bit like her mother, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of personality and temperament. The appearance of such a girl in the dream was probably caused by Oedipus complex; as for Meng Xing , maybe when I heard his name in school, but I didn't take it seriously, but I remembered it subconsciously; and the young painter named Shen Guangji had met him on a certain occasion before, and knew him It is not impossible that they will appear in the dream.

After explaining it this way, Zhou Nianjiu reluctantly convinced himself that he had no idea about Meng Meng, the girlfriend in his dream. He was only under 17 years old, and he had no experience of falling in love with anyone. At that time, he was concentrating on painting, so Zhou Nianjiu said that he couldn't understand the love between 22-year-old Zhou Nianjiu and Meng Meng in his dream.Moreover, on a certain level, he doesn't want the person in the dream to actually exist, let alone the things in the dream come true, especially Meng Meng.

Because that was a nightmare.

One day after Mengli and Mengmeng confirmed their relationship, Zhou Nianjiu took her to a class reunion at a private villa in Yanjiao.That night, Zhou Nianjiu, who was not sociable, was drunk a lot, and soon became unconscious. When he woke up, he was lying in the guest room alone, other classmates had left, and Meng Meng was not there.

He asked someone to borrow a charger, and when he turned it on, he saw N missed calls from Shen Guangji, and Meng Meng's phone was turned off.

No one can contact Meng Meng.

There is no evidence to prove that Meng Meng will leave, and there is no evidence to prove that Meng Meng was kidnapped. The Shen family used all available connections, and even the Meng family in S City was alarmed. They searched everywhere they could. Repeatedly, but there was no Meng Meng, she evaporated like a bubble.

During that time, Zhou Nianjiu was under multiple pressures from himself and Shen Meng's family. The worries about Meng Meng and self-blame for himself almost drove him crazy.Meng Meng's mother became hysterical, and this strong woman yelled at him regardless of her image, asking him to return her daughter to her.Compared with her, Shen Guangji is much more rational, he did not accuse Zhou Nianjiu along with his sister, but he became more silent every day, and he also looked very uncomfortable.

A week later, Meng Meng came back.

She said: "I'm sorry to make everyone worry, I just went on a whim and went on a trip."

Meng Meng's mother turned pale with anger. She knew that she had wronged Zhou Nianjiu, but she couldn't bear to apologize to a junior, so she had to scold Meng Meng severely, and confiscated her ID card and passport, so that she could think about it behind closed doors. .Shen Guangji didn't say anything, but gave Meng Meng a complicated look, and then coaxed his sister to go out and let the two young men be alone.

Zhou Nianjiu asked Meng Meng where he went in private.

Meng Meng said that I can't tell you now, and said, "That's my secret garden. When the time is right, I will take you there with me." Then she hugged Zhou Nianjiu, leaned her head on his chest, and whispered , "Don't ask anything, Zhou Nianjiu, I'm tired."

Zhou Nianjiu found out that Meng Meng had changed.

That chattering Meng Meng talked less and didn't like to laugh anymore. Sometimes she would lose her temper at Zhou Nianjiu for no reason, and then cry out with regret.Zhou Nianjiu didn't know how to coax her, so he could only clumsily hold her and let her make noises and cry. It all started after the Mengmeng travel incident.

Zhou Nianjiu realized that the two of them spent most of their time in this courtyard. Meng Meng never said that he wanted to go out for a walk, and he never thought of taking her out.

Is Meng Meng bored?

So Zhou Nianjiu started to learn dating strategies, booked tickets for various exhibitions and performances in advance, searched for popular restaurants according to Meng Meng's taste, the two went shopping, ate and watched movies like other couples, and occasionally took a self-driving tour around.Meng Meng gradually became happy, and she turned back to the old Meng Meng who loved to laugh, and she and Zhou Nianjiu were even better than before.

Such a day until Meng Meng found out that she was pregnant, and the child was not Zhou Nianjiu's. He did not approve of premarital sex, so he hadn't slept with Meng Meng yet.

Meng Meng locked herself in the room and told Zhou Nianjiu to leave.

Zhou Nianjiu thought about it all night in the yard, and then said to her: "Mengmeng, let's get married."

Meng Meng was crying, and when she had cried enough, she said with a sob: "I really agreed, Zhou Nianjiu, you must not go back on your word."

Zhou Nianjiu pinched her red nose and said, "I won't go back on my word."

Meng Mengmeng took the child away, but Zhou Nianjiu couldn't hold her back, so she had to accompany her to the hospital.

When she got there, Meng Meng insisted on entering the consultation room alone. When she came out, she said, "Let's go, I won't do it today."

Zhou Nianjiu saw that Meng Meng was hesitating, so she cautiously persuaded, "Mengmeng, I heard that this matter is very hurtful."

In fact, in Zhou Nianjiu's view, it doesn't matter even if the child is born. Meng Meng's child is his child, and he will treat the child well. In this matter, his stepfather Wenming Yuan is the best example.

Meng Meng went to the hospital a few more times, and each time was similar to the first time. She entered the consultation room and chatted with the doctor for a while, then followed Zhou Nianjiu and left without doing anything.After repeating this several times, Meng Meng finally stopped going, but told Zhou Nianjiu not to tell anyone about it.

Zhou Nianjiu started to prepare for the wedding. He wanted to have the wedding before Meng Meng became pregnant, not because he was afraid of being told that he would get on the bus first and pay for the fare, but because Meng Meng said that he wanted to be the most beautiful bride.

The Wen, Meng and Shen families got together, and finally decided to hold a big event in S city, and then in B city, the Shen family would lead a private banquet. Because some details needed to be finalized, Zhou Nianjiu decided to go back to S with his father and brother first. city.

Zhou Nianjiu regretted this decision too much.

Meng Meng was bleeding heavily after the operation, and Zhou Nianjiu had a car accident on the way to the airport in a hurry. He saw with his own eyes that his right elbow was dislocated, and then his head hit the car uncontrollably, and then he fell into a coma.
